The Wines of Rioja

For a long time, Rioja was the only region anyone had ever heard of in Spain. Rioja was the refuge for French wine makers fleeing the phylloxera epidemic of the late 19th century and the benefactor of their expertise. Producing wines that can be eminently drinkable as well as wines with staying power, Rioja offers wine lovers many choices, from daily drinkers to Grand Riserva wines. At this class we will taste both white and red wines from Spain’s most important region–Rioja. Also, come hungry, as the wines will be paired with a delicious meal, prepared under the talented Cappella chef/owner, Rob Picardi. Note: A wine fee of $30 per person is payable in class. Limited to 23.
